The Sydney University Canoe Club (SUCC) Blackwattle Bay Classic was back in action at the end of May 2022. Clear skies greeted paddlers up for a challenge, or even just a sausage sanga and bev. The events were a mix of old favourites with some new rules to…
A few of us got out onto the Grose River at about 1.2m. Loooong, hard walk in, and some fun, tight paddling. Walk in took us about 4h, and the paddle took us about 5h without any breaks. The water level was pretty good, about an extra 10cm would have been way…
We left Sydney with boats loaded in cars and on trailers just after 19:00 on the 27th of December 2015 and set our destination for Jervis bay on the south coast. After 3 hours of driving, we arrived at Plantation Point in the small town of Vincentia located…

On 27 August we had 11 beginners out on the water for a harbour paddle. Here are some photos.

We had left the decision to paddle the Nepean until the last possible moment (being 4:30am), hoping that the most recent update for the river level of the Wingecarribee River would show that it had stopped dropping so quickly… Instead, we met at Bents Basin…
On Saturday, the 26th of March, six eager kayakers awoke in the early hours of the morning to go on an epic adventure trip. (Insert Lord of the Rings music here). At 5 am the Sydney Uni kayakers, from the USA, France, Germany, South Africa and Australia met…
Although the Shoalhaven Power lines section starts with some flat-water, do not be fooled by the gentle rapid at the put-in as it is not long before you reach the big stuff. The section is characterised by some really nice rapids (very pushy at this water…
Boats loaded onto the car, people on a mission to have a nice relaxing start to the year with the club we headed off. 5 of us packed in like very comfortable sardines with a stereo we made our way up to Brooklyn, along the way it became apparent that everyone…

Four keen paddlers headed out beyond the bridge to complete a lap of Fort Denison. The rain held of for the entire time, the ferries, however were another story.

The walk in (15min), shuttle (4km on good dirt road – 2 gates to open) and access are all relatively easy. By my calculations, there is a drop of 190m over the 4.9km section. We put in exactly at waterfall creek. The level did not “look low” at the put in as…
Although I have always wanted to paddle this section of the Snowy, lack of people willing to brave the cold, locked gates, unknown water levels combined with alternative paddling options have always relegated this trip to my wishlist. However, sipping coffee…
Setting off from Sydney at a leisurely 8:30 am, Jiri and I stopped along the way to visit the Canberra wineries to bolster our confidence. We were due to meet at the Cotter campground; however, upon arrival, we found that the campground was closed as it had…
The day the Eucumbene chewed me up and spat me out… Party: Cat, Jiri, Marcus & Andrew As the rain continued to fall in Thredbo (without our awareness), the group departed at 4 am for the long drive down to the Eucumbene. The discussion over breakfast in Cooma…
